A gentleman from near Brooks

tied Dawson during the Associa-
ton, last week, wore a large lump
of asafoetida around his neck as a
disintectant. He was afraid that
some Of the visiting brethren who

give him the yellow fever. The

Fatal Explosion.

PITTsBURG. Pa, Jan. ga battery of
four steel boilers at Spang. Chalfant 81
Co. IS steel and iron works. at Estrabor-
ough, six miles east of Allegheny City, ex-
ploded with terrific force at o'clock this
morning. The conclusion was so great
that it shook the houses for miles around,
shattering windows in thevcinity of the mill.
The fireman, George Patterson, was in
stantly killed. His body was mangled almost
beyond recognition. William Corville, an
employe was, picked up from under the
boilers. He was scalded with steam and
died about II o'clock this morning Twelve
persons were more or less injured by the
steam or flying debris. The battery had
been in use two years, and at the last in
spection was pronounced in good condition.
A piece of one of the boilers, weighing
1000 pounds, was found 200 yards from
the scene of the explosion. In its flight it
cut through the trunk of tree two feet in
diameter. leaving nothing but the stump
standing. The mill will be rebuilt at
once.

''in-turn," which is equivalent to the En-
gliSh'' on billiard ball; the players also
make carom and draw-shots and when it is
understood that the results of these shots
are "a feet from where the player stands
the fact will be recognized, even by those
knowing absolutely nothing of the game,
that great skill is necessary in order to be a
successful curler. AS is well known. it is
the national game of Scotland, and the
athletic sons of Caledonia retain an en-
thusiaSm wherever they go for the great
sport. an enthusiasm appreciated only by
the small minority of men possessed of an
ard0r for pure athletics. For this reason
curriers' are nearly all Scotchmen, or sons of
Scotchnien, and some curriers' came together
last year in St Paul who had delivered
stones together in Scotland fifteen years
ago as school boys. The game is played on
strip of ice called rink" by four
players on a side, each team being also
called rink" and one of their number
acting as skip or captain. Each player
has two curling stones. weighing. under the
national rules, from thirty to fifty pounds.
The stones are about a foot across, about
five inches deep. with oval edges, being
much the shape of an oblate spher0id very
much fiattened. The handles are horizontal
and are firmly set in the center The stones
are cut from any hard stone and differ in
quality according to the material used.
The rink upon which the game is played
is formed by lines cut in the ice, as shown
in the diagram, an explanation of which is
as follows:

How to Enjoy the ScOtchmam,s

How TO Enjoy the ScOtchman,s
Favoriie Sport and What Makes it
Interesting.
IL their arrangement of sports on the
palace grounds the carnival managers have
fixed up nothing else that attracts players
from outside the city as curling does, and
excites universal interest among all lovers
of the game in the United States, and par
ticularly in the West. Wherever in the
West or in Canada there are curriers', and
they are plenty in both, their topic of con-
verSation for the next three days will be the
carnival bOnSpiel, of St. Paul. This is not
only game which is winter sport, but 1t
cannot be played at any other season. and
is emnently fit part of the carnival fes-
tivitieS. 1t is comparatively new in st.
Paul, having never been introduced until
last year, and were it better known would
have many more admirers, as it is essenti-
ally and emphatically game Of skill, COM
bining many of the features of billiards
with the additional element of strength
and endurance 1t is clean game, for no
one ever heard of a curler making bet on
a game, or of using all oath while engaged
in the sport. The sturdy Scotch Presby-
terianism III which curling has been fos-
tered for hundreds of years has left its i'm
press on the game. and no one ever thinks
of such thing as dsputing the umpire.
WHAT THE GAME is.
1t is game requiring good physical de-
yelopment besides much Judgment. The
curling stones are given the ''out-turn" and
